Omnipotent Husband System

Chapter 46: Meeting In-Laws. (1)



Hao Ren did not care about what the system said to him. It was true that he was still influenced by the exaggeration of fantasy displayed in the novels he had read. The young man decided to train his sight. It was not easy but after a whole day of staring at birds from his balcony, he finally saw a wisp of blue emitting from the bird.

Blue color meant a long life and harmony. Hao Ren almost jumped back on his feet. However, the stinging pain in his ribs made him realize the reality and he woke up. Hao Ren slept with a content smile on his face uncaring towards the fact that the internet was buzzing with the success of Koro -Koro.

...

The next morning, Hao Ren woke up and washed up. He was just about to eat some cereal when the phone rang. He saw it was Lynn Carter. He said, "Xiao Mei, put it on speaker."

The call came through, "Boss, we have a situation."

Hao Ren raised his brow as he sensed the urgency and panic in her voice. He asked, "What could make you fluster so early in the morning, Miss Carter?"

Lynn Carter replied, "There is a group of people on the internet who claim that we are a black hearted company and that we are selling cheap stuff with an expensive label to rake profit."

Hao Ren frowned and did not panic because such a thing was obvious, competitors would often resort to smearing people. The hundred million yuan profit had made them envious.

Hao Ren replied, "Its not a big deal. They are just trying to ride the wave and gain popularity without any basis to flex."

Lynn Carter took a deep breath and said, "If that was the only reason, I wouldn't have been worrying, but a lawyer from Civil Court of people welfare just came over and served us with a show cause notice. They want to know what we are doing with the money."

Hao Ren furrowed his brow and asked, "Since when did the Court of welfare began to question people about their income?"

Lynn Carter replied, "Someone filed a public appeal against us."

Hao Ren raised his brows and said, "Fine, I will look into it, send me the copy of the document also, the charity we registered, I want the certification and everything legal about it. Since they wish to know what we are doing, I will gladly tell them what we are doing."

Lynn Carter nodded and said that she will send over all the details in a bit. Hao Ren disconnected the call and said, "Xiao Mei, find me the person who filed this application and also what motivated him to do so."

Xiao Mei replied, "Alright, Boss."

Hao Ren was pissed off, but he did not lose his temper it wasn't right for him to panic or get angry over something that could be solved. People who make such moves were akin to foxes. They would be cunning and to hunt down a fox, the hunter needed patience.

As he was thinking what to do, Han Lingshi sent him a video call invite. He smiled and got on the call, and saw a new face that surprised him. The girl was pretty but she lacked the maturity that Han Lingshi had, he asked, "Who are you and how did you get this phone? Did you do anything to Han Lingshi?"

His tone was stern and he was worried, however, the girl was shocked too, only for a second before she chuckled and said, "Hahaha, Big sis, your friend is a bit too paranoid."

She paned the phone to the side and Han Lingshi appeared in the frame, she seemed to be driving and said, "Lingxue I have told you not to mess with him. Ren, this is Lingxue, my little sister."

Hao Ren let out a sigh and said, "Say, do you remember that I am injured and this simulation is not a good thing for me?"

Han Lingshi smiled at him. The young man sighed and said, "I apologize to you for reacting that way, Lingxue. Is it alright if I address you as Lingxue?"

The girl replied with a nod and said, "I don't mind, it only shows that you care about my sister. So it's good. Sister was worried about your injuries so she wanted to call you but we are heading out for a charity event, so I used her phone. How are you doing?"

Hao Ren replied that he was fine and the trio conversed for a bit before Hao Ren suddenly froze. Xiao Mei gave him a text notification that the person who did filed the application was related to Han Yuntian.

Han Lingxue asked, "Hello, Ren, is everything alright?"

Hao Ren woke up and smiled at her as he asked, "Can you put Lingshi on for a second?"

Han Lingxue paned the phone and Hao Ren asked, "Say, can I make a move against Han Yuntian?"

This time the people on the other side froze. Han Lingshi asked, "What happened?"

Hao Ren told her about the application and other stuff. She frowned and said, "Why don't you wait till I come back? If he is making a move against you means that he knows about us."

Hao Ren replied calmly, "Even if he knows, he does not have any proof. Also, by the time you come back, that scum will think he can strong arm me. I did not intend to deal with him but since he is sending himself to my door, I will not refuse to him."

Han Lingshi could understand that Hao Ren was young and he did not like to be challenged, however, she was not confident if Hao Ren can handle the combined forces of her cunning uncle and that crazy Han Yuntian.

Han Lingshi was still contemplation when a calm voice echoed in the car, "Ren, if you can take down Han Yuntian, I will acknowledge you as my Brother-in-law and when you decide to go before the family, you will have my support."

Han Lingshi almost drove the car into the side walk from shock. Hao Ren was the same, but his shock did not last too long. He regained his composure and asked, "Do you know that Han Yuntian is supported by your father? Are you not worried that your dad might get hurt in this struggle?"

Han Lingxue turned the phone and looked at Hao Ren through the screen. She lifted her hair and showed him a fine scar on her nape. She said, "This is the only thing that man has ever given me. When my mother was pregnant, he tried to hurt my mother. The entire family knows about this but they let him go lest it damages the family reputation.

That man is my biological father yet from the day I came to the world he has never cared about me.

As for that bastard of his, if not for the fact that my mother wanted to send me overseas, I would have taken his head on my own."

Hao Ren nodded and said, "Then, fine, I will do what I must to gain your approval, Sister Lingxue."

Lingxue smiled like a blooming flower and after a few minutes the call was disconnected. Hao Ren said, "Xiao Mei, can you dig up Han Yuntian's cupboard and see if he has a demon buried there?"

Xiao Mei replied, "Oh, this is how metaphors are supposed to be used? Good, I will get to it right away Boss."

Hao Rem smiled as he leaned back in the chair. A few minutes later, he received the set of documents that the court has sent the company. As the chairman of the company he would have to appear in the court as the representative. Hao Ren did not mind it, and he saw that the date of proceedings was two days away only.

Markus Bourne was a man with extensive contacts, he hired two people to deal with human resources and public relations. He went all out and even contracted a law firm to represent the company legally.

This firm was called Prime Law. They were among the most reputed and cut throat lawyers. Hao Ren researched the firm and found a lot of things about them. They were expensive, but they never took a case that harmed innocent people. Even Byte and Singularity technologies were refused by them.

Hao Ren found that they were listed at the fifth position in the country, had many branches, but they had strict standards for their employees, and also they generated less revenue.

Hao Ren contacted the person who was responsible for handling the Thunder Tech cases. He asked, "Hello, is this Attorney Leigh?"

A calm voice sounded from the other side, "This is Leigh, who am I talking to?"

Hao Ren introduced himself and said, "Sir, we have been served with summons from the Civil Court Of Welfare. Can you look into it?"

The man on the other side replied, "Mister Hao, it is my job to do so, can you forward me the document?"

Hao Ren nodded and said, "Yes, I am sending you all the documents I found important now, and if you need anything else, you can contact the company office."

The lawyer agreed and things were kicked into motion. Hao Ren stood up and said, "Okay, so time to go and get some assets."

Hao Ren changed into a set of decent clothes and took the elevator downstairs. He had Xiao Mie tell Heath to be ready. The man was wearing a tight fight black polo shirt and cargo pant. Hao Ren smiled and said, "Mister Heath, you sure take your job seriously."

The man smiled faintly and nodded. He asked, "Where are we heading sir?"

Hao Ren said, "The stone gambling market."

Heath was surprised, he did not expect Hao Ren to have such inclinations. In the past few days, he saw the young man working hard and thought that he might be different from other young masters. However, here they were, Heath was a soldier in his youth so he disliked those who did not have any discipline.

Hao Ren looked at him and said, "Brother Heath, you don't have to think so much, I am not going there to gamble, but for personal business."

Heath shook his head and said, "Whatever you do, it is not my business, Sir."

Hao Ren shook his head and sat down in the co-pilot seat. Heath got inside and Hao Ren said, "Do you know who operates the Vanity Jades and Jewels?"

Heath shook his head and Hao Ren said, "Han Yuntian. He is the person who owns one of the biggest shop in the jade city. How does he extract Jade?"

Heath replied, "By cutting the raw stones."

This was how everyone did it and it was common knowledge. Hao Ren nodded and said, "The raw stones stock is where the real jewels are hidden. Han Yuntian allows people to come in and bet on stones, then if someone cuts open a jade he would offer a fair price to buy it. However, what do you think will happen if all of his jade stone was cleared out?"

Heath was surprised but then he said, "How can someone clear out all his jade? Do you have something that can see through the layer of rock? I think they do not allow people to use machines."

Hao Ren smiled and said, "You will see what I mean, Brother Heath. There are many things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense, and I happen to be one of them."

Heath shook his head as he drove the car. Hao Ren did not mind the man doubting him, if not for the fact that he had Yin-Yang eyes, he won't have dared to make such a blatant move. Han Yuntian wanted to move on the path of exclusivity. However, Hao Ren wanted to destroy him and his exclusivity.

After an hour, they reached the jade market. Hao Ren stood at the entrance of the fabled Jade Street with a pair of sparkling eyes, today he met his cousin-in-law, and now he was going to meet the other one. He mumbled, 'Cousin in-law I hope you will like my gift.'
